This was probably my favorite vacation. To sum it up we have a teenager and he brought a friend. We got 2 rooms, so we did have our own space. All the staff was super nice and friendly and even when our teenagers went to a meal (we have taught them to tip properly) the waiting staff did not know that and were more than gracious. 10/10. A desk professional was a little rude to the boys but we ignored her, you could tell she was not use to dealing with “1 by 1” and was overwhelmed. She was rude but we just ignored her and went about our day :)

Nice spacious suit, waterfront restaurant and bar inside and outside Volleyball court on the beach Downtown 2 minutes away to walk from hotel with several bars/ restaurants, ice cream shops, boutique ti shop. And much more.
Well, I booked this hotel few times this summer. I really enjoyed to stay there. But each time you enter the pool area, screaming kids are everywhere I mean why adults who came without children can have quiet time. Pool open until 9pm Why not to have time for grown ups between 9 and 10 pm. Just 1 hour. And why small kids allowed to be in hot tub?? This area should be -" Adults only" Apparently parents are not watching their kids, or just don't care

Location was the best!! Loved the bikini bar and beach. Loved walking downtown and shopping. Also it was nice e our room was ready hours in advance but there is an additional charge of $20 to get in early. Front desk ladies were nice.
We didn’t get the bay view we booked so we were given a $ credit to use on site. That was nice but unfortunately we had trouble using it at each restaurant. They ended up figuring it out but a bit inconvenient.

We have stayed here many times before. Staff was awesome, like they always are; very helpful, kind, and , courteous. The resort is an excellent spot to relax and enjoy the bay.
The hotel room was not as clean as my spouse expects from this venue and she made a complaint at the desk due to a couple dirty washcloths being left in the bathroom. On the whole I felt it was pretty clean, our standards apparently vary a bit between her and I. I also felt the price was a bit high for still being in the off-season, but I did book last minute for a funeral so I wasn't terribly put off or surprised.

Nice location on the bay. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Lounge is welcoming and a great place to hang out.
We requested a bayside room, which we got and it was wonderful. In the morning I realized how lucky we were to have made that choice. Loading the car I realized the street side rooms would have been pretty noisy with the traffic. A little more expensive, but if you stay be sure to get a bayside room.

The rooms were clean and well stocked and the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. They have a swimming pool, lounge and restaurant. They also offer a free continental breakfast which offered several items. The staff was wonderful. We stayed in October but weather was nice enough to walk outside by the water which has a beautiful view. They have an outdoor bar and chairs on the beach. We will definitely come back during the summer months.
We have no complaints about anything.

The property has undergone upgrades since my last visit. The rooms are comfortable. If there were a fan in the bathroom, it would be really nice after a shower. The restaurant has a good selection of food choices, and the quality of the food is good. The lounge was very nice, with a DJ willing to play requests. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. I know some people may not be happy with the every three-day room service, but we found it acceptable. The views from the restaurant are excellent.
The bathrooms need fans.

The location is perftect!! There is the beach, pool, indoor bar, restaurant and a Cute outdoor bar all right there. The view is spectacular. There's a cute little town with fun shops to explore just across the street and a beautiful state park just down the road. It has everything you need for a fun relaxing vacation.
My only complaint was the flies in the restaurant. There were several flies buzzing around us while we were eating breakfast and it kinda grossed us out.

We stayed here right before Memorial Day weekend, so the crowds were very small. Even though it was cold outside, we had the beach to ourselves and it was a very relaxing place to be. The bar serves half-price appetizers during happy hour and they make a delicious meal. My wife loved the spinach dip and I would highly recommend it.

The parks and marina nearby, plenty of seating outside
Did not have a reservation, walked in and was quoted 190 for one night went outside and book room for 136 online. When we arrived the one clerk was checking a line of people in, she was not happy and had an underlaying angriness about her. I didn't blame her, that's management's fault.
